I Stood With The Dead Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDC BEF| I stood with the Dead so forsaken and still | A |
| When dawn was grey I stood with the Dead | B |
| And my slow heart said 'You must kill you must kill | A |
| 'Soldier soldier morning is red' | B |
| - | |
| On the shapes of the slain in their crumpled disgrace | C |
| I stared for a while through the thin cold rain | D |
| 'O lad that I loved there is rain on your face | C |
| 'And your eyes are blurred and sick like the plain ' | - |

| I stood with the Dead They were dead they were dead | B |
| My heart and my head beat a march of dismay | E |
| And gusts of the wind came dulled by the guns | F |
| 'Fall in ' I shouted 'Fall in for your pay ' | - |
